Calico pie, little bird fly, down to the calico tree
Swing and Promenade
Wings of blue, singing tilly tilly loo, till away they flew.
But he never came back, he never came back,
He never came back to me

Calica Jam, The little fish swam, over the Syllabub sea
...
He took of his hat, to the sole and sprat, and to Willeby-Wat.
But he never came back, he never came back, he never came back to me

All 4 Men Promenade, once around that ring
Run on back and Swing your girl around
Join hands, Circle to the Left,
Allemande Left and Weave
Calico drum, the grasshopper comes, The butterfly, beetle, and bee
Swing and promenade
Over the ground, around and around, with a hop and a bound.
But he never came back, he never came back,
He never came back to me

Calico ban, the little mice ran, to be ready in time for tea.
But he never came back, he never came back,
He never came back to me

Oh, he never came back, He never came back, He never came back to me
